["Bale, Dan" <DBale@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The details are a little foggy...  but I seem to remember distinctly the day
when I didn't have to worry about which belt was loaded.  I seem to recall
it was (made?) a system default; never had to change anything except perhaps
something in CNFIGSSP, like you suggested.  

Oh, yes, the question marks.  Aauuughhh!  Remember SEU before POP?

Dan,

No, it was automatically handled on the S/34 too, and most likely the
S/32 and S/3 as well.  All you had to do was set the SSP option and
specify which translation table you wanted.  I normally just used
#96E48 with a 48-character belt on the line printer.

Unless you mean by not being "automatic" that it had to be explicitly
setup under CNFIGSSP if you wanted it on a system-wide basis.  

You could also override it on a job level basis by using // IMAGE.  I
initially had to do this at one place I worked, because the manager
didn't want to add it to CNFIGSSP thinking it would slow down the
system.

Another fun things was OCL listings with all the ?'s missing...
